First Farizon vans arrive in UK

The first batch of Farizon SV panel vans has arrived in the UK, ahead of the van's official launch.

The UK introduction of Farizon - a wholly-owned subsidiary of Geely Holding Group, China’s largest private vehicle manufacturer - is on schedule, with the start of sales on track for Q1 2025 and first customer deliveries slated for Q2 2025.

Tom Carney, managing director of Jameel Motors Farizon Auto, said: “Landing the first UK-spec vans at the port sends a strong message to UK retailers and customers: we mean business.

"We introduced ourselves and our plans for the Farizon SV last month, and we’re on track to meet our ambitious timelines.

"The team is already meeting customers, retailers and partners as we prepare for the start of sales in the coming weeks, bringing an exciting new proposition to the UK van market.”

A total of eight panel van variants will be offered to UK customers, ranging from L1 H1 (4,990 mm long; 1,980 mm high) through to L3 H3 (5,995 mm long; 2,500 mm high). Payload is up to 1,390Kg, with a load capacity of up to 13 cubic metres. 

L1 and L2 variants will have 67kWh and 83kWh battery options, while the L3 H3 variant can be equipped with either an 83kWh or a 106kWh battery. Combined WLTP range is between 177 and 247 miles, with an urban WLTP range of up to 342 miles. Testing is underway to validate real world unladen and laden range figures.

UK pricing and specification for the Farizon SV will be revealed shortly.
